Company Performance Metrics
Caption Colorado was founded in 1991, and quickly built a solid reputation by providing a year of free real-time captioning service for Denver station KCNC-TV to benefit the local deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Within a year, we secured our first paying customer (WRC-TV in Washington, DC) and revolutionized the captioning industry by providing
premium service at reasonable rates.
In the early 1990s, closed captioning came at a steep price – with rates ranging from $400 to $1,000 per hour for realtime captions, despite substantial government subsidies. Their ability to provide superior real-time service for rates as low as $120 per hour empowered broadcasters to make their content accessible to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, and established Caption Colorado as one of America’s largest providers of real-time closed captioning services.
